Parties are for ages 9–16, with rooms matched to age and confidence — we’ll point you to the right door.

Adults welcome

Parents can play, or wait in reception with a coffee — whatever suits the group.

Games Master in the room

Our in-house service, available for any party and especially popular with 9–11 year olds. A Games Master joins the group inside the room and stays in character from start to finish — welcoming the children, introducing the story and explaining the game and rules in a way that’s fun, simple and exciting.

During the game they encourage teamwork, communication and problem-solving, with age-appropriate hints that keep things immersive without giving the answers away. Every child stays engaged and included, and leaves feeling part of the adventure.
